According to a report from TV Patrol's Mario Dumaual, the Miss World Organization (MWO) is under negotiation with the government of the Philippines to possibly host the pageant next year. While the Philippines has hosted Miss Universe pageant thrice, the country has yet to stage the Miss World pageant.
In 2014, First Pinay Miss World Megan Young accompanied by former Miss World Philippines national director Cory Quirino met with former Philippine Vice President Jejomar Binay and the DOT for their proposal to host the Miss World 2014 pageant in the Philippines. But the Philippine government did not pursue it.

Miss World prides itself in being the oldest surviving beauty contest. The pageant night is managed by the Miss World Organization, which raises millions of pounds for its charity programs under the banner "Beauty With a Purpose."
Would the Philippines want to host the Miss World pageant? Your thoughts?
